We are a public planning and development organization that puts customers first, values partnerships both inside the city and with outside agencies and strives to shape the City of Locust Grove as a premier place to live, work, and invest. We provide information, advice and technical support to the city's citizens, elected and appointed officials to assist them with development decisions, issues and priorities. We are committed to long-term economic vitality, environmental integrity, and the quality growth of our community.
